The state’s first fully mobile pharmacy is coming to Connecticut

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, health

With the vehicle, Springer and her team want to bridge the gap between patients at home and healthcare providers in established healthcare systems.


“What we really are trying to do is build bridges and linkages,” Springer said.

A first-of-its-kind fully mobile pharmacy may soon be coming near you. The “Integrated Mobile Opioid Treatment and Infectious disease cOordinated care in your Neighbourhood,” also known as “InMOTION,” was started by Sandra Springer, a professor of medicine at the Yale School of Medicine, and her team, with the goal of bringing a working pharmacy to people’s homes and enhancing access to health care for residents of Connecticut.

Scientists use quantum entanglement to travel in time

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

“These simulations do not allow you to go back and alter your past, but they do allow you to create a better tomorrow by fixing yesterday’s problems today.”

Researchers at the University of Cambridge have demonstrated.

Quantum entanglement is a fundamental and intriguing phenomenon in quantum mechanics. It occurs when two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle cannot be described independently of the state of the other(s), even when they are separated by large… More.

MIT chemist Moungi Bawendi shares Nobel Prize MIT Department of Chemistry

Posted by in categories: chemistry, particle physics, quantum physics

For his work on techniques to generate quantum dots of uniform size and color, Bawendi is honored along with Louis Brus and Alexei Ekimov.

Moungi Bawendi, the Lester Wolfe Professor of Chemistry at MIT and a leader in the development of tiny particles known as quantum dots, has won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2023. He will share the prize with Louis Brus of Columbia University and Alexei Ekimov of Nanocrystals Technology, Inc.

The researchers were honored for their work in discovering and synthesizing quantum dots — tiny particles of matter that emit exceptionally pure light. In its announcement this morning, the Nobel Foundation cited Bawendi for work that “revolutionized the chemical production of quantum dots, resulting in almost perfect particles.”
